Polish label Prelude Classics is delighted to present the complete string quartets by Paul Kletzki performed by the Bacewicz String Quartet. Among the four works are two world premieres and first performances. Paul Kletzki (1900–1973) was one of the leading conductors of the 20th century. Early in his career, he worked with the Berlin Philharmonic, and after World War II, he led major orchestras including the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, the Israel Philharmonic, the Dallas Symphony, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Renowned for his profound interpretations of Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler, Kletzki’s conducting combined passion and spiritual depth, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of classical music.
